I LOVE Marie, she's the type of character I try to find in a Race - last season it was Katie, this season is her; just the utter villainous, bitchy, strong type of female character that demeanors everyone <33333333

She is really getting on my last nerve. I might be able to tolerate her if there was something, anything notable about him. Her personality is abrasive & his is like dry toast. If they aren't smart enough to trade the express pass for the information about the next pit stop; then, they deserve to go out with both in hand.

I posted this in the episode 5 thread in the spoilers section also....but

If you have twitter you shpould check out the exchange of tweets between Tim (@tim_sweeney_), Marie (@reebsicle), Amy (@TheRealAmyDiaz), and Jason (@JasonCase). Pretty funny stuff. They have been tweeting about Tim and Jason's polka dance together and Marie stealing the cab in the next episode for the last day or so!

Joe & Bill weren't that bad, if at all in Season 11. OTOH, it could've been a combination of other teams that had some negativety around them to the point where they outdid Joe & Bill. Total agreement in TAR Original. Say what you want about Marie and how she might be awful to others, but that pales in comparison to Joe & Bill (Season 1 version). To be fair to Joe & Bill, if and when you meet them in person, they are very nice and classy people.

Back to Marie. Fortunately for Tim, he hasn't gone down yet, but that would be pretty good television if he did. Her character might not be one I'd want to deal with if I was on this season (and I'd have to take it, because, well it would beat the other alternative), but as a viewer, as mentioned it pays respect to TAR the way I've known it back long ago. Having a "villain" makes for a great season, granted that the racer or racers is/are entertaining and/or are good racers. Marie fits every category, had she been boring/quiet, otherwise, yeah I too could do without that.

Every reality star is someone's favorite

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on
